Which Linux Desktop Should You Choose? I Compare GNOME, KDE & XFCE 😎

Today we’re comparing three of my personal favorite Linux Desktop Environments (DE)! We’ll discuss what a DE is, their impact on performance, what applications they come with and which one might work best for you! If you haven’t already subscribed please do so!

✅ Update - Krita does NOT come preinstalled on KDE Plasma but it can installed via the terminal via 'sudo apt install krita' or downloaded via the software store!
